Connect data and instruction to improve practice
Gathering data and using it to inform instruction is a requirement for many schools, yet educators are not necessarily formally trained in how to do it. This book helps bridge the gap between classroom practice and the principles of educational psychology. Teachers will find cutting-edge advances in research and theory on human learning and teaching in an easily understood and transferable format. The text's integrated model shows teachers, school leaders, and district administrators how to establish a data culture and transform quantitative and qualitative data into actionable knowledge based on: Assessment; Statistics; Instructional and differentiated psychology; Classroom management

But building the necessary capacity is not done through a one-time workshop or one-stop shopping (i.e., simply by purchasing data systems and expecting people to know how to use them). It is attained through continuous capacity building that must begin in teacher preparation programs and continue throughout educational careers. Data-driven decision making is a human resource that must be continuously developed.
